I have hundreds of ideas, I have been working with Illustrator every day since version 1, like 10 hours on most days but you never implement my ideas.
Here are three more.
Include an option to render lines around the artboards or not, currently I have to go over my complete layout and trace every artboard becouse they don't render and leave my artwork borderless.
When I save for web but hit enter to soon a dialogue box opens up under the web preview and I am unable to close the window without force the program to restart.
Often when I am coloring shapes it wants to connect to other lines. I would like a feature where you could toggle connect to other paths on or off. (now that I think about it, there might be something for this already, I just can't find it.)
Every time I put jpgs into my illustrator file I have to select each one and choose embed or else I lose the artwork when I send or reopen, If I could choose always embed that would save me a TON of time and hassle.
There are more but I feel like I am shouting into a void of no return here...
Oh well.

Toby, I wrote a script for this task specifically, because I too always need to create artboard-sized rectangles all the time — and since CS4, when multiple artboards were introduced, there is no native command to do that (before it was Release Artboard command).
Sure I won’t wait until Ai team adds this! They obviously prefer their cloud train and other major features the shareholders push, just like you said, from the top. No care about small things. Still I have hope.
You can put this script to an action an assign a hotkey, as I do.
Just rename the file to .jsx first.
Hope this helps.(Edited by admin) -

Yes rectangles. I am going to stop commenting on these forums, it's a top down system and will have to go open source at some point. I give up.

Can you tell more about borderless artboards?
What exactly do you mean? There are borders, which can be toggled on and off with Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+H, but this is not what you probably meant.
Perhaps a command to create rectangles for a selected or each artboards? -

I concur with the embedding images issue and the artboard borders option.
